The Mirrored Truth Magazine

A digital thematic literary magazine on Subtack publishing essays, poetry, and fiction rooted in lived experience for POC writers. Launching June 6, 2026.

A home for black writers

WHO ARE WE

Mirrored Truth Magazine on Substack exists for POC writers who have never quite fit anywhere. We are not a trauma journal. We are not a race essay collection. We are a literary home for the full spectrum of your humanity, your ideas, your intimacy, your complexity, your joy, your contradiction, your becoming.

A connector. A writer.Siedah Johnson is an author and freelance writer based in Albany, New York. She is the author of I Am Love: Learn to Love Yourself and Tap into Your Power and writes about identity, relationships, and personal growth through her Substack, The Author's Alchemy. Her work has been featured on Revision Path, Succeed As Your Own Boss, and Tiny Buddha. She explores what it actually feels like to rebuild yourself from the inside, after the loss, after the silence, after the decision no one else witnessed. Find her at theauthorsalchemy.substack.com
